I saw the new 11th “Star Trek” movie at an AMC theater yesterday. The fairly large screening room was practically full of people and there were few open seats. And this was a 10 AM showing on a Saturday. At the end of the movie, there were many people clapping. A couple of co-workers also enjoyed the movie.

I recently had a chance to fly Virgin America and noticed some changes since the first time. I did happen to talk to another passenger on the same flight who said that they preferred Virgin America so much that they were on the flight even though it wasn’t flying to their actual destination. They were going to take a train after the flight to go to their actual destination.

To track Santa on Christmas Eve, see NORAD’s web site at http://www.noradsanta.org. In addition to English, several other languages are supported such as German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese.

Every year, NORAD gets fancier and fancier. This year, they are doing tracking in 3D, and for those who don’t want to or can’t go the NORAD web site, it appears they are offering iGoogle gadgets and tracking by cell phone. See http://www.noradsanta.org for details.
